Where To Make Friends When Miami Feels A Little Lonely - Miami - The Infatuation
"You ever wish you could rewind the clock of Miami to, like, 10-ish years ago? A lot of us probably do. Maybe the city was kinder and more friendly to locals back then. Or maybe we all just got older and grumpier. Either way, that spirit of old school Miami that made you fall in love with this city is alive at Gramps Getaway (and so are $12 cocktails). This waterfront bar from the Gramps team has an atmosphere that makes saying hello to a stranger at the bar feel like a reasonable thing to do. It puts you in a vacation mindset. You can play the ring game with people you just met, join some friendly faces at a picnic table, or just mingle with the crowd and hopefully meet someone who came here on a boat (and is willing to invite you on it). Gramps Getaway can get slammed on the weekends. The nicer the weather is, the more crowded it’ll be. But most people don’t know that you can make reservations here. So book one and walk right past the poor souls waiting at the host stand." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
